Abstract

De oorlogsjaren vormden voor de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen een periode zonder het predicaat 'Koninklijk'. De Tweede Wereldoorlog was geen periode van stilstand, niet voor de Nederlandse wetenschapsbeoefening en niet voor Akademie.Door in deze bundel een langere periode in beschouwing te nemen - 1930 tot 1960 - is het mogelijk de bewegingen van wetenschap en Akademie dwars door de oorlogsjaren heen te volgen. Door deze vernieuwende benadering worden de oorlogsjaren niet zozeer beschreven vanuit een bezettingsperspectief, maar worden ze beschouwd in termen van voortgaande

Abstract

Georg Marggrafe (1610-1643) is today hailed as the principal author of an influential account of the natural history of Northern Brazil and as compiler of the first accurate map of the area, which is considered as one of the most elegant products of seventeenth-century Dutch cartography. But initial he had the ambition to become known in astronomy. With the support Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen, then governor-general of colonial Dutch Brazil, he built in Recife the first European-style astronomical observatory on the South-American continent, where he systematically charted the southern stars. He intended to supplement the famous astronomer Tycho Brahe, who charted the Northern sky half a century before. But Marggrafe's untimely death (and the negligence of a Leiden professor) prevented the publication of his valuable observations.

Abstract

Locations of Knowledge in Dutch Contexts brings together scholars who shed light on the ways locations gave shape to scientific knowledge practices in the Dutch Republic and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This interdisciplinary volume uses four hundred years of Dutch history as a laboratory to investigate spatialized understandings of the history of knowledge. By conceptualizing locations of knowing as time-specific configurations of actors, artefacts, and activities, contributors to this volume not only examine cities as specific kind of locations, but also analyze the regionally and globally networked and transformative character of locations. Many of the locations which are studied in this volume are still visible until the present day. Contributors are Azadeh Achbari, Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis, Alette Fleischer, Floor Haalboom, Marijn Hollestelle, Dirk van Miert, Ilja Nieuwland, Abel Streefland, Andreas Weber, Martin Weiss, Gerhard Wiesenfeldt, and Huib Zuidervaart.
